Electromagnetic radiation shield panel and method of producing the same

Abstract

A transparent electromagnetic radiation shield panel suitable for placement in front of a TV display device, particularly a large plasma display panel, or other such source of electromagnetic radiation to shield the viewer from electromagnetic radiation is provided, which transparent electromagnetic radiation shield material comprises a transparent electromagnetic radiation shield film, a transparent adhesive layer provided on an electromagnetic radiation shield layer of the film, and a display panel having the transparent electromagnetic radiation shield film laminated thereto via the transparent adhesive layer. A method of producing the electromagnetic radiation shield panel comprises the steps of forming a transparent resin coating including a plating catalyst on one surface of a transparent film, forming a layer of plated metal on the coated surface by electroless plating while simultaneously blackening the coating, forming a desired resist pattern on the layer of plated metal, removing portions of the layer of plated metal where no resist is present and blackened portions of the coating thereunder by selective etching, thereby obtaining an electromagner radiation shied film, providing a transparent adhesive layer on the film, and laminating the film to a display panel or a transparent substrate by the adhesive layer.
